Car Paint Repair & Refinishing

Paintwork is one of the most visible parts of any accident repair, and one of the easiest to get wrong.

At Finesse ARC, refinishing is carried out as part of the wider car body shop repair process, ensuring every vehicle is restored correctly and consistently.

Paint Repair Carried Out to Manufacturer Standards

Refinishing is not just about applying paint.

Every stage, from preparation through to final finish is carried out using manufacturer-approved systems to ensure the result matches the original vehicle in colour, texture, and durability.

This ensures a consistent finish across the entire repair.

What Paint & Refinishing Covers

As part of the repair process, paintwork may include:

  • Panel refinishing following body or structural repair
  • Bumper repainting after damage
  • Surface correction after impact or scuffing
  • Blending adjacent panels to achieve a consistent finish

Each repair is assessed to determine the correct approach for long-term quality.

How Paint & Refinishing Is Carried Out

Paintwork is completed as part of a structured repair process:

Applied Across All Vehicle Types

Paint and refinishing is carried out across a wide range of vehicles, from everyday repairs to manufacturer-approved work requiring precise processes and materials.

As an approved repairer, we regularly complete refinishing work in line with manufacturer standards for:

  • Audi
  • BMW and MINI
  • Volkswagen Group vehicles (Volkswagen, SEAT, CUPRA, Å koda)
  • Volvo
  • Tesla

Each manufacturer requires specific paint systems, repair methods, and quality controls. Our team follows these standards to ensure the repaired finish is consistent with the original vehicle specification.

Why Proper Refinishing is Essential

Paintwork plays a key role in the final quality of any repair.

A consistent finish ensures:

  • Colour matches correctly across panels

  • The repair is not visually noticeable

  • The vehicle maintains its overall appearance and value

By carrying out refinishing as part of the full car body shop repair process, the result is consistent with the rest of the vehicle.
